Dining & Seating
Invest in some comfortable seating with washable cushions, even if the items are portable - you and your guests want to be comfortable.

Outdoor Rugs
Removable outdoor cushions bring warmth and comfort to your setting. Being able to remove them and stack them away is a must.

Lighting
Ambient lighting is a must, once the sun goes down you can't rely on the moon or a few candles to create the mood. Install some string lights or overhead lights that are dimmable.
